Roger Mullin is currently a tenured professor at Dalhousie University Faculty of Architecture and Planning, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. His research interests investigate the materiality and imperatives of buildings, infrastructures, and urban form, with a focus on coastal landscapes in the North Atlantic and areas of the Adriatic and Mediterranean Seas. This work is bracketed by concurrent research in methods of representation and design-build. Developments of these activities are carried forward through community partnerships, field-work, exhibitions and writing.

Our exploration stems from an interest in the organizational system of the (Jeffersonian) grid and its relationship to local agrarian, urban and architectural systems. The piece streams into concurrent interests of photography, hard edge painting and the experiential and abstract qualities of the space of the gallery.
As a précis, the work is a confluence of modes of representation, and invites the reader to acknowledge the Jeffersonian grid, to dwell on the representational quality of photographry and experience the application of landscape characteristics via color samples onto the created object itself. We employ a systematic use of COLOR to give expression to a material that is conceived as an instrument (both scientific and abstract) that “records” and “transposes” site characteristics.
